Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

CHARACTERISTICS OF AIRBORNE MICROPLASTIC POLYMERS USING PASSIVE SAMPLING AND THE INFLUENCE OF METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Jurnal Ilmiah Ilmu Terapan Universitas Jambi
Tenayan Industrial Estate has various anthropogenic activities, including industrial and population-related activities. Many activities can affect the levels of pollutants in the air, including microplastics. Microplastics can be transported through the

Colonic Barrier Dysfunction and Inflammation Induced by Nano‐/Micro‐Plastics Fibers in Mice via the FAK/NF‐κB/iNOS and TLR4/NF‐κB/iNOS Pathways

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As emerging environmental contaminants, nano‐ and micro‐plastics (NMPs) have drawn increasing research attention due to potential hazards to organisms. Particle shape is a key factor influencing the toxic effects of NMPs, and NMPs of different shapes cause varying degrees of tissue damage. We investigated the specific mechanisms of polystyrene

Forest soils accumulate microplastics through atmospheric deposition

Communications Earth & Environment
The occurrence and fate of microplastics in forest ecosystems is a recognized knowledge gap. In this paper, we used an aligned extraction method to quantify microplastics (>20 µm) in organic and mineral forest soil horizons and throughfall deposition ...

Microplastic in Riverine Fish is Connected to Species Traits

, 2018
Microplastic is a contaminant of concern worldwide. Rivers are implicated as major pathways of microplastic transport to marine and lake ecosystems, and microplastic ingestion by freshwater biota is a risk associated with microplastic contamination, but ...

Parental Exposure to Nanoplastics and Graphene Oxide Induces Transgenerational Toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution by emerging contaminants such as nanoplastics (NPs) and graphene oxide (GO) represents a growing threat to global health and ecosystems. This study investigated the effects of parental exposure, both isolated and combined, to 100 μg/L NPs (polystyrene, spherical, 100 nm) and 100 mg/L GO, using Caenorhabditis elegans as ...

Microplastics and soil microbiomes

BMC Biology
Microplastics, small particles that are released from plastics as they degrade, are ubiquitous and increasing in amount in most environments, including the soil. Here, we review the impacts of microplastics on the structure and activity of soil microbiomes and their key ecosystem functions.

Microplastic Emission from Soil-Air Interface

To bridge the gap in understanding soil–air microplastic emissions, here we studied the soil–air transfer mechanism of microplastics with laboratory simulations using microplastic particles varying in size from 1 to 5000 μm.

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...
